Therapy can help you develop the coping strategies you need to manage many of life’s challenges. If you’re looking for a therapist, CO has many online treatment options. Barriers to mental health care, like a lack of available therapists or financial concerns, can make it challenging to find an in-person mental or behavioral health provider. An online therapy platform like BetterHelp can make therapy more flexible and convenient.

At BetterHelp, you can work with a psychologist, social worker, or marriage and family therapist from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. Plus, you can change providers at any time for no fee until you find one with whom you can have a successful therapeutic relationship.

While BetterHelp does not offer group therapy at this time, the platform allows you to work through your unique challenges with your counselor one-on-one. Whether you need to improve your coping skills, learn to manage everyday stressors, or want to address repetitive behaviors, a BetterHelp provider can guide you through the healing process in a safe, therapeutic space. 

The list below can help you find providers licensed in the state of Colorado so you can learn more about the benefits of online treatment and sign up for your first therapy session.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in SC, CO and NM with 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, phase of life concerns, relationship issues, trauma, and addiction recovery. My approach to counseling is eclectic. I take the time to build a solid therapeutic relationship by listening intently to what you are going through and where you are on your journey. From there, I will integrate different therapeutic techniques to help you advance toward your goals. I often use Attachment theory, Mindfulness, and EMDR. I want to acknowledge the strength and courage that it takes to seek help. When working with me, it is very important that I highlight that this is your journey. You know yourself better than anyone else in this world. I work collaboratively with you to create a road map for your journey. With every stop along this road, my goal is to get you noticing your experiences and how they influence your life so that you’re freer to choose what you do next. I want you to feel un-stuck and start to thrive in your life. Having you notice your experience is meant to be practical, a helpful way of you being free to choose what your life is about, not your mind. It’s not about what you do next, it’s about noticing what’s influencing your behavior. We’re developing the process of noticing so that you have the flexibility to choose what you do. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

10 years of experience

10 years defines my experience providing dual diagnosis mental health related counseling services to adolescents, adults and elders in a variety of inpatient/outpatient services in the criminal justice system in conjunction with integrated clinical health systems services. This experience gave me a new direction and way of life consisting of personal growth and change I would like to share with you. Our goal is to share my experiences with those who seek to enhance their level of personal growth and change. Serving adolescents, adults, elders, couples, families and groups with my training in an eclectic variety of treatment modalities, the actual counseling approach with a given client is determined by your preference and personal goals. With the hope that your goals will center around the self discovery of personal strengths and yielding an increase in self esteem you will realize that your integrity is the most valuable asset about yourself. Upon this discovery you will be able to share with others as you become an extension of the counseling process. My theory is when people have hope and learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs and attitudes they create the biology of courage. By normalizing stress people are free to experience change. In Relationship focused therapy the counselor will identify strengths by asking family members to take note of the family dynamics they want to maintain The counselor will look for exceptions to the problem by asking couples to recount times when the problem did not occur and to account for why, to formulate a solution and highlight strengths. Couples will review worksheets and experience discoveries by working together to identify strengths and cultural differences. In my experience within the past 10 years couples will experience cohesion within the family unit in which they will find new meaning and purpose. Couples will set goals that identifies a renewed value driven direction as they discover what they want to work towards and what is really important to them. At Franciccan University I was made aware and adapted my Christian basesd counseling approach to center around the Eleven Human Emotions that describe the pleasure, appetite or human emotions. The goal to acquire the good through Love Desire and Joy and to avoid the evil of Hate Aversion and Sadness. These emotions make up the heart or inner core of mans emotional life. For difficult issues it is wise to recognize the Utilitatian or assertive emotions of Hope Courage and Anger versus Despair, Sadness and Fear. These Emotions give us the energy necessary to overcome obstacles that separate us from the things that are hard to get and what we really want. Clients are encouraged to engage in each component of the Eleven Human Emotions that will give them clarity and a renewed realtionship with the Holy Spirit thus gaining compassion for themselves and others. What do you have to lose and you have everything to gain by trying!

I am licensed in Colorado with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & anger management. I also have experience working with depression. You don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay. You’ve been strong for too long—navigating life, love, and pain like you’re supposed to have it all figured out. But deep down, something’s off. You’re tired. Maybe you’re losing yourself in a relationship that’s no longer healthy. Maybe you’re struggling to set boundaries, speak your truth, or stop people-pleasing. Or maybe you’ve been through trauma that still echoes in how you love, trust, and show up. I’m Rich Yeager, LPC, and I help men, women, and older teens heal the parts of themselves that life tried to bury. I work with people who are ready to stop performing and start living, especially when it comes to relationships, self-worth, and emotional clarity. Whether you’re trying to rebuild after a toxic relationship, struggling to communicate with your partner, or still carrying pain from your past, this is the work that matters. My style is real, grounded, and straight up. I blend clinical tools with soul work—trauma recovery, boundary setting, inner child healing, and relationship repair. This isn’t surface-level stuff. We go deep, but we do it honestly, empowering, and focused on results. You weren’t meant to just survive love—you were meant to heal in it. You weren’t meant to stay silent—you were meant to be seen. If you’re ready to stop shrinking, stop repeating the same patterns, and start rebuilding a life and love that actually feel good, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work.

CJ Medina, here. I am a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and Colorado who has worked with at-risk youth, veterans, and people with disabilities. Though, I primarily work with children recently, I have worked with adults in many capacities. I would like to have a balance of adults and youth 13-19 years old. Any younger and telehealth is not the medium for me because of the need for direct play. Adults need to access their inner child, too. I have 15 years experience with kindergarten through higher education and beyond. Special Education is my specialty, and I am old and wise in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process, disability law, and targeted counseling services. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is my original specialty for children and adults and I have extensive knowledge, psychoeducation, and coping skills/tools to share. I also am a trauma-informed counselor. A sexual assault trained counselor. And super funny to talk to. I am also a Rodeo Clown after all. True story. I have a deep passion for my work and I know it is my sacred purpose. I am Native American (Apache and Navajo/N'de Diné) and I integrate some of my traditions of mindfulness/prayer, meditation, and instructive storytelling into my practice if the client is open to it. My sense of humor is a very important component. I believe that laughter is healing and a momentary relief. What might be happening for you might not be funny, but we'll imagine what it would be like if you had to tell your story at the comedy club. That is, if you're ready for that. Otherwise, I know when to be serious, I know when to listen, and I know when to stop talking myself. It's your session. You, as a client, are ready to address your fears, perceived obstacles and are inspired to take care of yourself in this way. You have decided therapy can be helpful and provide you with the third-party, unbiased ear that you can't get from friends and family. I am just yours. You're very own counselor. Hopefully you enjoy telling and hearing stories, because I am interested in yours. If you like to laugh, I believe that's one of the best medicines. Being able to cry is a great release. If you come with an open mind and heart, we can do great work together.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
